The Qatari Ministry of Justice confirmed that Law No. (5) of
2024 on Real Estate Registration, which introduces digital property
registration for the first time in Qatar, was brought into force on
4 April.
The most significant reform of real estate registration since
Law No. 14 of 1964, the new Law is in line with the
government's commitment to Qatar National Vision 2030, which
identified real estate as a critical pillar in the countries
efforts to diversify its economy beyond the traditional oil and gas
sector.
The Law includes comprehensive and substantial measures to
improve real estate services provided to the public. These include
registration, record keeping, document generation, updating of real
estate registration data, processing of applications for
registration, objections and arbitration of property rights for
unregistered properties and those expropriated for public
purposes.
